Whoa! Thank you, Kevin, jcspro40, Steve, Noel, Floyd, Guenter. I think Floyd has it nailed with his comment, 'The best way "to keep jazz alive" is to make it "accessible".' Surely I must have known this at some point, but at my age I may have to write it on a sticky note pasted to my forehead to help it sink in.

As requested, I've edited the original post to include the lyrics, as well as a link to the famous original, which I think Guenter has correctly observed would be well known to members.
